"A good young man I" said Deacon
Levi Darrow, and indeed Royce Ayl
mer seemed worthy of the designation.
In the estimation of the venerable
church man, Boyd Hapgood was not
In the same category, and yet the lat
ter had been the closest chum of Ayl
mer, and at the very moment that the
remark was made the latter was bound
for home to read for a second time a
letter lie had received from Hapgood
In the city that day.
It was only one of a series that
Hapgood had written during six
months' sojourn in the big metropolis.
He was urging Aylmer to join him.
He painted glowing pictures of the
lures and eEjjyments of his new en
vironment. Aylmer was quite the re
verse of Hapgood, being steady, sav
ing and of fixed character and habits.
Hapgood had been somewhat discred
ited while at Rossville. He traveled
with a lively crowd, his parents pro
vided liberally for him and he had all
the promptings of< the spendthrift. For
nil the contrast between the two, some
how a genuine friendship had sprung
up between them, and there had been
a mutual pledge tflat through all of
life they would stick to one another
and divide their last crust!
"It's different with Hapgood," re
flected Aylmer. "He has plenty of
spending money, and can dress well
and throw it around. Then, too, he has
the influence of city relatives to get
him a good position. Where would I
be, with one common suit and less than
one hundred dollars capital? No, Hap
good and the city aren't for me until I
can go there under better prospects."
Still, the cautious Aylmer had a
/longing to join his friend. He was sick
and tired of slaving from early in the
morning until late at night in a gen
eral store for a beggarly pittance. One
influence alone held him to the town,
one especial being acted as though his
diligence, se«mly courtesy and unpre
tentious ways appealed to her own
practical nature. She was Alice Lisle,
One day there came a hurry call at
the store for Aylmer. For the first
time in six years he asked his em
ployer for half a day off.
"It's my uncle, Mr. Deane," ex
plained Aylmer." He is sick —dying,
his messenger tells me, and wishes
me to come to him at once."
"Why, he doesn't seem to have paid
much attention to you in the past."
"No," agreed Aylmer, "but he is old,
he is my dead mother's only brother.
I guess he has led a pretty lonely and
miserable life, and of course I can't
refuse to go to him."
Next day the storekeeper received
a note from Aylmer, stating that he was
at his uncle's, that the latter was very
low, and had insisted on his remaining
with him until the end came.
"A day and a half," commented the
storekeeper, "maybe more. If Aylmer
doesn't make it up with extra work
I'll dock him for every lost minute!"
But the opportunity to "dock" Royce
Aylmer never came. John Graham died
the following day, and all Rossville
marveled over the astounding circum
stances that at the last minute Mr.
Graham had left his entire fortune to
Aylmer. The young heir did not jubi
late over this sudden and- unexpected
accession of wealth. Reserved and un
pretentious, he kept his own counsel
and applied himself loyally to carrying
out verbal instruction given to him by
his uncle. These covered certain por
tions of the inheritance which would
consume about a third of it. There
was a local church to be endowed.
Some benefits were to go to a theolog
ical seminary. A new house was to be
built for two old ladies who were dis
tant relatives. Very faithfully Aylmer
attended to these beneficiaries. Then
he counted up his resources and at
last stood on the threshold of a new
life. '
In secret his face glowed and his
eyes brightened as he realized that he
was now prepared to Join his friend in
the city and exploit its pleasures with
the best of them! The only extrava
gance to which so far Aylmer had
committed himself was the purchase
of an automobile. As he started out in
It one morning to look over the new
house, just ready for the two old
ladles, a telegram was handed him. It
was from Boyd Hapgond and it pressed
him urgently to come to the city to
rescue him from a terrible tangle.
Hiding in an obscure room shat
tered in health, trembling at every
sound, Royce Aylmer found his friend.
As the latter recited his experience in
a downward path that had led him not
only into the highways of folly, but
had made of him an embezzler, all
the glamour of city life seemed to
fade from the view of his loyal friend.
Aylmer cleared up the money troubles,
set his friend on his feet once more,
and chastened, disillusioned, started
back for Rossville.
It must have been fate that wrecked
his automobile near to the Lisle home,
and further destiny that made pretty,
solicitous Alice his nurse for a week.
And in his convalescence Royce Ayl
mer, under the influence of the ideal
home life about him, shuddered as he
thought of what the devouring city
had done for Boyd Hapgftod, and was
content to forego all Its gilded fas
cinations for the sweetest little wife
In th» world !

Life at its dreariest had come to
Alma Royce at eighteen. H*r father
had died just as she had reached the
acme of girlhood loveliness and had
settled into a life which She had rea
son to hope would have no break for
a long time to come. The existence of
herself and her father had been an i
ideal one since she was a mere child, i
There was not a country estate in the
district that could equal Wildwood in
extent and beauty, and there for !
a decade the Royces had received all
the advantages of luxury and ease.
The former owner of the place, John
Wayne, died when his only son and
heir, Gerald, was a mere lad. Previous
to that Alma's father, originally a col- i
lege professor, had broken down in
health and John Wayne, an old college
friend, had employed him to systema
tize and care for his great collection
of antiques. When Mr. Wayne died
there was a provision made in his will
that the old scientist was to continue
his work and have a home at Wild
wood and its entire charge until his
son attained his majority. Of that
son after that the Royces only knew
that he was receiving a full education
abroad.
It was after her father's death that
the family lawyer of the Waynes vis
ited Wildwood.
"Miss Royce," he said, "we under
stand that Mr. Gerald Wayne is about
to return to this country and settle up
the estate. Doubtless Wildwood will
pass into other hands. It may be some
time before that may come about, and
until it does, we would like to have
you remain in charge here.
Alma felt that it was only a ques
tion of time when she would have to
go out into the wide world cheerlessly
alone. And she shrank from the stren
nous life ahead of her, contrasting so
harsh and unfriendly with her calm,
even experience at Wildwood.
Alma was busy one day directing
the transplanting of some shrubbery
when she noticed a young man, an en
tire stranger, standing by the garden
roadway. His eyes were fixed upon
her studiously and interestedly. As her
glance met his own he advanced, re
moving his hat with a courteous bow.
Then a seeming afterthought as to in
troducing himself appeared to occur
to him. He took several cards, se
lecting one indiscriminately and near
ing Alma tendered it to her. She
read upon Its face "Wylle Blair," and
under this the name of the law firm
which attended to the business of the
estate.
"You are Miss Royce, I am sure,"
spoke the visitor. He was rather
grave of manner, young and handsome
as he was, as though study or weari
ness of the world had brought serious
ness and surfeit, but a sight of the
fair young girl appeared to lighten his
natural mood. "I have come to look
over Wildwood, preparatory to a possi
ble disposal of It to the best advan
tage."
A new brightness came into his fac®
as Alma in her pretty intelligent way
showed him over the grounds. But it
was when she led him inside the sump
tuous house that he became absorbed in
contemplation of its contents. fCis
being seemed to be in complete har
mony with the unique and beontifttl,
and he reveled over a Carrhrt irurbie
girl's head by Fiaschi, a favor?'* ioise

Sotlmake of wide proportion* c.n
tique mahogany highboys, thr
ese teak -vood screen before 'J&«>
besque fireplace, pearl reading glosses,
silver trophy cups won by speedy
horses, and books, books, books, gath
ered from the most exclusive store
houses of the world.
For nearly a week each afternoon
this apparent agent and authorized
representative of Gerald Wayne ap
peared at Wildwood. He made a pre
tense of taking notes, but it w*s clear
from his intent association w'.rh Alma
that he most prized this innocent, gen
tle woodland creature. He command
ed her careful system of keeping tho
accounts of the estate. He was a rapt
listener, as in her well-informed way
she recited the value and history of
this and that priceless piece of bric-a
brac. At times Alms was puzzled,
for while he seemed pleased at the
information she imparted, here and
there some chance remark showed
that he was no novice in art antique.
"I am going away tomorrow, Miss
Royce," he said at the end of a week,
and on the morrow, as they were seat
ed together on a garden seat, he looked
at her earnestly with the words: "You
have made Wildwood a.revelation to
me, and I am satisfied Us owner
would be a vandal quite to scatter to
the winds ruthlessly the labor of loDg
years."
"I am glad." said Alma in her frank,
ingenuous way, "and I hope you will |
tell Mr. Wayne that." Then she sighed
and glanced sorrowfully all about her.
I sh«;: miss all t?ie beautiful life I
have passed here. It has bc-en a true
home to me."
He leaned closer tu her and his eyes
were glowing strangely. "Why should
you go. Miss Royce?" he questioned.
"If I were its owner «nd shmTd ask
you to stay because I hav» learned to
love you, what would you Sh.y?"
The fluttering blush upon her face
told him that her soul was rsspons've
to his own. His eyes gUid. "I
ask you stay," he added, J am
